Disclaimer: I do not own the Harry Potter series. I do however have a very talkative brain…

Brain voice: Are you talking about me?

Me: Yeah, whom else would I be talking about when I refer to my annoyingly talkative brain?

Brain voice: . . .

Me: Thought so.

Brain voice: *sniffle*

Me: *smug smile*

First and foremost I want to thank every single one of you that reads my story. After the last chapter my hits on this story were over 5000 and my reviews finally topped out at 107! All of you guys are amazing!! *hugs everyone and gives each of you a pie* Thank you so much! I love you all to death!

Thank you to everyone that told me their ideas for a chapter. I had fun reading them. I can't decide a winner though because they were all amazing ideas.

I feel so bad because this chapter is freakishly short but I hope you can forgive me and like it anyway. Writers block has me in its cold, cruel clutches. It's so bad that I'm not even sure what to write as my A/N. Now that's pretty bad writers block…

Sorry for the freaky long A/N and have fun reading this sadly short chapter…

Chapter 13


Ginny POV

Poke… Poke… Poke…

I groaned and looked up from my new romance novel to seen Colin Creevey staring at me. I leaned up, having been slumped against the window. "What Colin?" I asked with a trace of annoyance as I marked the page I was on and closed the book.

"Sorry Ginny, but we're almost there," he said as he pointed out the window. Hogwarts was an ever-growing speck in the distance. "I thought I would tell you. You seemed too caught up in your book to notice." He shrugged and turned back to talking with Neville and Luna.

I sighed and stood up, grabbing my robes from my bag. "Be back in a few," I said as I walked out and made my way to the bathroom. As I passed the compartments I couldn't help but steal glances to see who was in them. Every time I would see green my heart would start racing. But by the time I got to the end of the train where the bathrooms were, I had yet to see Draco. He must have been sitting nearer the front than I had been. I sighed and opened the door.

After I was done going to the bathroom I pulled my Hogwarts robes on and looked at the mirror. My robes hid the necklace so I pulled it out and let it fall on top of my robes. When I had told Luna of the necklace, how I said her dad had made it and she had given to me, she said ok. She didn't ask why, she just said ok and kept on reading her Quibbler.

I quickly made my way back to my compartment. It was only a few minutes later that the train pulled up and everyone made their way off the train. I kept looking around me, trying to find Draco, as we all crowded off the train. By the time Luna, Neville, Colin, and I were piled into a carriage I still hadn't seen him.

The ride up to school was uneventful. Luna was staring out in front of the carriage and Neville and Colin were chatting away. I let out a sighed and pulled my book out of my bag and kept reading.

The next few days passed slowly. I wanted so bad to talk to Draco but I hadn't been able to. I saw him in the hall a few times. Each time he seemed to be staring at the necklace around my neck. He never smiled, just a simple nod in my direction. I knew we wouldn't go public with our feelings, but I wished he would at least smile.

It was Friday and I was walking the isles of the library trying to find a good book to help me with my History of Magic essay. Such a boring subject but for some reason necessary. This part of the library was completely empty. I sighed and leaned against the bookshelf. Is Draco avoiding me? I asked myself for what felt like the millionth time. Was Draco avoiding me? It had been running through my mind every second for the past few days.

I just shook my head and kept on looking for a book. I had made it about halfway down the isle when I heard my name. I turned to see Draco standing there, leaning against the shelves with a smile on his face.

"Hey Ginny," he said, walking towards me.

"Draco," I squealed happily, running towards him and throwing my arms around his neck.

I felt his arms wrap around my waist, pulling me closer to him. I just sighed happily and lay my head on his shoulder with no intentions of letting him go any time soon. "Somebody seems a little exited," he whispered in my ear.

"You have no idea," I replied with a laugh. After a minute or too I let go of him, his hands sliding slowly off my hips. I repressed the shiver that it caused. He smiled again as he pushed my hair back off my shoulder, his hand lingering on my neck for a second.

"You like it?" he asked, nodding towards the necklace that had been hidden by my hair.

I put my hand over it and smiled. "I love it. I saw one just like it a witch weekly the other day. I told my parents that Mr. Lovegood made ones like it though to ward off Nargels and that Luna had given this to me. Even if it was just a knock off, it's still beautiful." My fingers traced the dragons as I spoke.

"That one is centuries old. The ones you see in stores and magazines are knock offs of this necklace. It was the first and only one made like this by Marconi," he said as he lifted the pendant in his palm.

"Marconi? The ancient jeweler of Greece? But he only made seven necklaces in his life. All of them were prized over life itself. It's said that anyone who owns one is blessed with beauty and wisdom," I said as my fingers reached to trace the dragons again, only to land on Draco's hand, the pendant in-between out palms.

"Yes," he said quietly. "It was the last one he made before he died. It was given to a woman of great beauty, Aleandra Malfoy. It has been in my family for centuries." He said as he let the pendant fall back onto my chest, gripping my hand in his.

I gasped and asked, "Then why are you giving it to me?"

He let my hand fall, his hands cupping my face as he leaned down to kiss me. My hands wrapped around his neck, pulling him closer. When he pulled away he said, "Because one day I intend to make you a Malfoy."


I promise I will work my fingers off and get out the next chapter soon. And I promise that it will be a lot longer than this. I'm sorry, yet again, it was so short. I hope it was ok… Please tell me if you liked it!

A happy author writes better and faster! So review and make me happy!!! And any ideas are welcomed and loved.
